Daytona 24h, H3: Dixon leads Cadillac 1-2 as Porsche gives chase
Sebastien Bourdais (#01 Ganassi Cadillac) took the lead from Ricky Taylor (#10 Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Acura) at the start of the second hour of the race. Despite falling back due to a short energy fill and double-stint on tires, Taylor’s Acura managed to stay in the race. Richard Westbrook (customer JDC-Miller Motorsports) passed poleman Pipo Derani (Action Express Caddy) for third place but clipped Gar Robinson’s LMP2-class Riley ORECA in the process. After the second round of pit stops, Dixon (replacing Bourdais) and Dane Cameron (replacing Nasr) battled for the first position. Louis Deletraz (WTRA Acura) led the race momentarily with some pit strategy but had to pit, handing the lead back to Dixon. In the LMP2 category, Nico Pino (#2 United Autosports) and Pietro Fittipaldi (#52 Inter Europol by PR1 Mathiasen) overtook opening-hour leader George Kurtz (#04 Crowdstrike by APR). Andrea Caldarelli (Iron Lynx Lamborghini) passed the #12 pro-am entry of Aaron Telitz in hour two to take the lead in GTD, but Marvin Kirchoffer (Pfaff Motorsports McLaren 720S) emerged as the frontrunner in the third hour.
